The Cowboys of Chance Creek

by Cora Seton

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

The Cowboys of Chance Creek Box Set, Books 1 – 3

Ethan Cruz, Jamie Lassiter and Rob Matheson have been
friends since they were kids, and they’re about to get each other in a whole
lot of trouble—women trouble, that is. When a practical joke kicks off a series
of romances, the Cowboys of Chance Creek will never be the same.

Includes:

The Cowboy’s E-Mail Order Bride (Book 1)

When Ethan Cruz finds himself with an e-mail order bride he
never asked for, he’s ready to send her right back where she came from—just as
soon as he gets to know her a little better. When Autumn Leeds answers a plea
for a modern mail-order bride for a cowboy, it sounds like the story of the
century, but when she reaches Montana, she’s surprised to find Ethan’s the
perfect cowboy husband-to-be. Against her better judgment, her plan to keep her
handsome groom at arm’s length while she writes a scathing article on the
subject disintegrates into a night of passion spent in his arms.

Ethan knows he can’t keep playing this game – he has to come
clean with Autumn and tell her the truth; about the practical joke and about
the state of his ranch. Autumn’s in bigger trouble than ever. Not only has she
fallen in love with the subject of her exposé – she might be carrying his
child. Can she trust a man she’s just met when she knows too well that men
always let you down?

Can a love based on lies last?

The Cowboy Wins a Bride (Book 2)

All Jamie Lassiter wants is to marry his best friend’s
sister and settle down for the rest of his life in Chance Creek. He’s saved his
money, bought into the Cruz Guest Ranch and he’s ready for that wedding, but
Claire Cruz is nowhere to be found. Claire’s too busy leaving Montana behind to
care about cowboys or their wedding plans. She’s got plans of her own – a trip
around the world. She’ll go as soon as she buys her tickets and she doesn’t
care if she ever sees Chance Creek again.

Desperate to change Claire’s mind, Jamie proposes a bet:
give him six weeks to convince her to marry him. If he can’t, he’ll pay for her
round-the-world tickets himself. Claire can wait six weeks if it means free
tickets and a chance to get a little revenge on a man who once broke her heart.
She’s got only one stipulation: Jamie can’t touch or flirt with her – or any
other woman – while the bet is on.

Now Jamie’s on the run from a bevy of cowboy-groupie ranch
guests, and Claire’s learning she cares about the ranch – and Jamie – more than
she dreamed possible.

Maybe it’s time to lose that bet. As long as Jamie loses it
first.

The Cowboy Imports a Bride (Book 3)

Rob Matheson doesn’t know how much longer he can keep up the
tough-guy act. As his buddies get married one by one, he’s left with the
sinking feeling he lost more than his dreams when he traded them for a thick
skin. Now Rob’s father has issued a challenge – he’ll give 200 acres to the
first of his four sons to wed. Could this be a chance to become the man he
really wants to be?

Morgan Tate’s worked for years to climb the ladder to a top
job at Cassidy Wineries, but Duncan Cassidy, the boss’ son, always stands in
her way. Now he’s issued an ultimatum; marry him or he’ll make sure she never
works in the wine industry again..

Rob offers Morgan a proposition – marry him and split the
land. Now they’ve got sixty days to fall in love, and a passel of family and
friends determined to keep them apart. Will it take the biggest practical joke
of all to convince the world – and themselves – that they’re truly meant to be
man and wife?

Now Available – The Cowgirl Ropes a Billionaire (Book 4)

Bella Chatham will lose everything – her veterinary
practice, her animal shelter, and even her home – if she can’t find another
source of income, fast. So when her best friend signs her up for the hot new
reality television show, Can You Beat a Billionaire, Bella accepts the
challenge and hopes against hope she can win the ten million dollar prize. If
she doesn’t, it’s bye-bye pet clinic and shelter, bye-bye Chance Creek,
Montana, and hello to marriage to the billionaire for a year!

Evan Mortimer, billionaire, can’t believe he’s reduced to
competing in a television contest to win a wife. Unfortunately, it’s the only
foolproof way to secure his position as head of Mortimer Innovations. At least
he’ll be able to dump his “spouse” at the end of the year; he’s much too busy
to be tied down to a country bumpkin cowgirl.

As the contests heat up, so do the sparks between the
contestants. Will either of them remember in time that it’s not who wins or who
loses – it’s how they play the game that really counts?

EXCERPT

From: The Cowboy Wins a Bride

"Bet she shoots you down
when you do ask her," Rob said, catching up to him.

"Bet you she doesn't,"
Jamie said, even though secretly he thought Rob might be right.

"If you're getting married
in ten weeks, you better hurry up and pop the question," Ethan said from
behind them.

"I'm not marrying Claire on
Labor Day," Jamie said. His plan called for using the summer to build her
interest in the ranch. At some point, he'd ask her out, and in the fall he'd
suggest they move in together. Maybe he'd propose at Thanksgiving. Sure, he'd
bought the ring early, but experience had taught him to be prepared. Like Ethan
said, some occasions were more romantic than others. If things should move
faster than he expected, he didn't want to be caught short.

And...well, he was looking
forward to being engaged to Claire.

"You admitting she'll turn
you down?" Rob said. They reached the stack of chairs again, and added the
new ones to the pile.

"No. I'd just like to go on
a few dates before I ask her." Jamie straightened up.

"Chicken."

"I ain't..."

"If you haven't asked her
out in the past decade, you aren't going to ask her now. You're blowing smoke
up your own ass if you think you're ever going to marry her."

Jamie shoved his hands in his
pockets to keep from balling them into fists and punching Rob. "I ain't
chicken and I am going to ask her."

"He's got to think it over
for another twelve years," Ethan chimed in. "Doesn't do to rush these
things."

Jamie bristled at this group
attack on his cautious personality. "Hundred bucks says I'm married to
Claire by the end of the summer."

"Deal." Rob grabbed his
hand and shook it before Jamie had a chance to reconsider. He pointed across
the lawn. "There she is, tiger. Go on and ask her. Just keep your distance
from her right hook. You know how cranky she gets."
